Best RV Parks & Resorts near Rio Grande National Forest

Absolutely love the RV Resort! Very friendly and helpful staff! The internet here is outstanding. I only have one complaint....this was our first time here and our GPS took us down a washboard dirt road called Deep Creek Road...wish they had warned us to stay on 149 through Creede!

Appears to be an old KOA campground. Somewhat rustic, but hosts helpful and friendly. Full hook-ups and tent camping available. We had a lovely spot by the pond very enjoyable stay.

We arrived at East Fork late in the evening, just in time to catch a beautiful sunset. Each site is equipped with RV hookups, picnic tables and a small grill - There are 2 restrooms on either side of the grounds as well. From our site (#11) you could hear the gushing river down below. The host was really nice and led us to a nearby waterfall and overlook the next morning as well! San Juan NF is gorgeous!!

Great place for full hook up spots in South Fork. They also have great trails close that you can drive to via atv or ohv's. Wonderful views all around from our campsites! Great mom and pop business that is reasonably priced.

Good location, excellent WiFi, good staff! Full hookups and trees/ shade. Lots of options to stay—cabins, RVs, etc.

After having traveled to many RV parks over the past few months there were some things I really disliked. People were walking through our site constantly and in droves.. between our rig and tow vehicle, in front of our RV door, behind our rv with all our hookups and equipment. I hated the lack of privacy and the fear that folks would step on our hooks ups, etc. even when I was outside stretching and doing yoga, folks piled on through, it was uncomfortable and a very weird culture. We kept asking folks to walk around, but it literally happened every few minutes with adults, children, groups.. we eventually gave up. That weird taboo-ish rv culture continued in many aspects throughout our stay.

The bathrooms had two shower stalls and showers for each sex—nothing for non-binary folks. This did not meet the needs of the entire camp ground—and they were closed as the office was closed (all night into the morning). Bathrooms are not ADA accessible nor for anyone who struggles with stairs.

We used laundry facilities which were nice and refilled on propane. Both easy processes!

Each site had a fire ring, picnic table and concrete slab. No Verizon service at all.

A gorgeous nearby hike, see videos!

This campground is located right on the Pagosa river. There is also a pond located on the property that you can paddleboard on with paddle boats. 

The campground offers full hook-up to basic campgrounds. There are a few campsites located right on the river. 

The campground also has warm showers, laundry, book exchange, and a TV. There's also a game room with old-school video games and an air hockey table. 

The campground is located 2miles from downtown Pagosa Springs. 

Cell service great

Beautiful campground with level sites. Come prepared, it is in the middle of downtown so a lot of traffic noise of loud cars racing down the road and it is right next to the railroad tracks. The train whistle is deafening and will rattle your teeth. 5 trains came by the one night, one as late as 10 pm. Campground is gated. Super friendly staff, We didn’t use or look at the showers and other facilities. Full hookups with great water pressure.

This campground provided lots of space between sites. There are no hookups, but there are pit toilets, running water, picnic tables, and fire pits. You can fit larger RVs in the spaces on the upper loops of the campground. Ours is 28’ and there was probably 10-15 feet of extra space. The camp host was great and did a good job of keeping everything clean. If you need to dump your tanks in Chama, the Little Creel will let you dump in an empty RV space for $10.

The RV park is extremely quiet and pet friendly. We extremely enjoyed our three day stay. We have already started planning for a return trip.  They also have cabins for people to stay in it, traveling without their RV/tent. 

Nice campground and super hosts! RV park is well maintained with big areas for dogs to play. Close to grocery and restaurants, hiking, fishing, ATV! Internet is not great. ATT Cell phone coverage sporadic.

We love it here so much we came back another year. Great RV park everything works as it should. You're spaced out so you're not on top of your neighbors. Everything is well maintained. The owners are wonderful people as well.

Pagosa Cool Pines RV park is centrally located in Pagosa Springs Colorado. It's a small very well kept park with less then 30 spots. No tents or popup campers allowed.  Meet with the owner and he shared with me that the cell sevice and wifi were great and that he provides 40 channels of cable. Daily RV rental is in the mid $50s. It was a beautiful park was the owner aloud me to drive through.  Some hiking/walking trails on property.

This is our first visit to Lake City so I've nothing to compare it to, but I loved this RVPark. Linda was gracious and accommodating. Bathrooms were spotless AND warm. We are at tail end of season so the park was not full at all, but even if it had been there are tables and trees between each site keeping from feeling claustrophobic. We drove past the other RV Park in town - on Henson Creek - you are on the river, but also on the highway and it was packed in. Elk Horn is off the highway nestled against the mountain, and just 4 block walk to "down town" Lake City. Highly recommend this spot. Call to make reservations. Linda gets right back to you. We also stayed on one of the cabins to give kids more trailer room. You provide the top bedding, but there was a queen bed and a bunk (so 4 could sleep easy). No bathrooms in the cabin but your close to the bathrooms.

Great RV park in east walking distance to DT Alamosa. We walked to coffee place in the mornings and farmers market Saturday. Great clubhouse with super clean bathrooms and showers, workout room, puzzles and couches. Little green for golf. Only reason it wasn’t a 5* is that you do hear road noise - we got lucky with the train and didn’t wake us, but as others said, is right on the tracks. Would definitely recommend if you are visiting the area.

We love this place. Our family has been coming here over the years, and it's still a favorite. The pools are artesian hot springs. The pools are extremely kid friendly, and there are greenhouses with 21+ soaking and bar.

Camping is 20 bucks a night and you get half off camping when you camp here.

The camp sites are basic, but they have water, bathrooms, showers, laundry and such. Also RV park with plugins, dump and water.

they serve food, and they also allow you to bring your own food and to bring your dogs.

We get a weekend away for about 80 bucks for two nights and swimming, and we can bring our kids and dog....it's a winner!

They have a shop that sells items needed like bathing suits and sunscreen and treats and they also rent out toys and such.

To be clear, there is no dump site for RVs, no market, no water hookup (water dispensing). It’s the view and yes, there are probably 5 primo spots and we did not get one but I still have a view of the incredible mountains. But after 1 night, someone cleared out of best spot and we reserved it right away (first come first serve ) A walk to the lake from any of the 16 sites is perhaps 3 minutes. Great site and Derek is best host ever. He runs it right.

We should have arrived and checked in by 3:30pm. But had a lack of gas issue. Passed up $5.90 stop. Has the range to go the 19 mile to next station for $4.78. But did not figure in the Frigging HEAD WIND, Went from 11 mpg to 3 and 4 mpg. Was 1.5 miles short. OnStar dispatch with in 5 minutes of our stop. 2.5 hr later back on Road. During down time call Cool Sunshine RV park to tell them we were still coming. Said sorry for our delay but gave us our spot no# C15, gate code to open gate. Had our welcome packet taped to office door with all others info about park. They said they were going to run my card for rest of our stay. Green Grass between and around park. Flat gravel roads and deep camp sites there are pull through down center of park. No pool. But two horse shoes puts, corn holes boards, some game called GA-GA pit. Like Dodge ball, but all in circle. Small finced dog park. Nice gate coded bathroom and showers. And Laundry room!
